He suggested that they get together again sometime, and Rita liked that idea.ĭexter's attachment to Rita and Rita's devotion to Dexter continued to grow, until their eventual marriage. Rita remarked that he seemed to know all about her, with Dexter replying that he would like to know more. She asked how he was feeling, and told him about her two kids and domestic problems, but he said that Debra had already told him.
Rita called Dexter later that night, while he was discarding Marcetti's body parts into the ocean. To be polite, he paid for the dinner, saying that he was ill and it was a pleasure to meet her. When Marcetti stood up to leave, Dexter followed suit. Rita had just escaped a dangerous relationship and Dexter happened to be a serial killer (although this was not revealed to her).ĭexter used this date as an opportunity to watch his next target, Marcetti. Their first date was awkward for both of them. The marriage would prove to be an unhealthy one, leading to her being abused at the hands of Paul and having to deal with his drug addiction.Īfter a domestic disturbance call, Paul was arrested by Debra Morgan, which prompted Debra to set Rita up on a date with Dexter. Rita married Paul Bennett after becoming pregnant with Astor. In " Circle of Friends," Rita told Dexter that Paul owned their house before she met him. On 6 January 1990, they divorced (as Dexter felt, due to a brief teen romance). Her husband at the time was John Alan Ackerman, a 21-year-old mechanic whom she married on 16 August 1989. Not a great deal of her early life was known, although it was revealed via a marriage certificate from when she was sixteen years old, that she lived at 321 Elmview Lane in Ashley, MI 48806. Rita Bennett was born Rita Ann Brandon in Ashley, Michigan, 19 April 1973 (approximate date) to mother Gail Marie Brandon and an unknown father (possibly deceased). For a time, she was moody and easily annoyed, feeling that he had violated her trust. After they were married about six months, they entered marriage counseling when she learned he had secretly kept his apartment. While Rita had previously paid his long absences and flimsy cover stories no mind, she began to pick up on Dexter's lies and question his erratic behavior. Later, a complicated situation involving Lila West (in which Rita and Dexter broke up and later reconciled) changed the fundamental nature of their relationship.
Īt first, Rita tended to be naively unaware of Dexter's flaws. Rita, despite not liking violence, had season tickets to the Florida Panthers, and her favorite sport was hockey. Rita began to develop more confidence in herself, along with a growing sexual attraction to Dexter. Rita was completely unaware that Dexter was a serial killer, and it delighted her that he was great with her children. Dexter felt that Rita was a perfect girlfriend because she was as damaged as he was in her own way. This was one of the reasons he kept seeing her as he considered himself emotionally removed from humanity, and thought that if Rita got too close to him, she would sense his darkness. Due to her violent past, Rita initially avoided sex with Dexter. Rita was a loving mother who previously was in an abusive marriage with Paul Bennett.
